About this map

The San Simon River drainage and the infrastructure of the Southern Pacific railroad define this corner of Cochise County. The topography reveals a land managed for water and cattle, evidenced by features like the Olga Detention Dam, West Well Detention Dam, and the West Well Corral. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the named locations of Olga, Triangle Ranch, and Garrett Ranch.

Industrial and communication footprints are visible in the landscape through the Yellow Hammer Mill, a Radio Facility, and a significant Pipeline corridor that runs parallel to the rail line. Multiple Borrow Pits near the tracks suggest the ongoing maintenance of the transportation route. The presence of a structure labeled Adobe near the river indicates the persistence of traditional building materials in this arid Arizona valley during the late twentieth century.
